PASTING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 2'7, 1912.

Application filed December 17, 1910. Serial No. 597,912.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SARKIS Srnrnnns YENOVKIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pasting-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to pasting machines and especially to machines for pasting together the blanks in the manufacture of collars.

The objects of my invention are to construct a machine by which the paste may be distributed in the desired quantities and at the desired places on the goods mechanically and rapidly and may be operated by a foot pedal or other power, leaving the hands of the operator free to handle the goods.

Other objects of my invention will appear from the specification.

I obtain these objects by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of my pasting machine, a part of the frame being broken away. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section with parts broken away. Fig. 4 is an enlarged crosssection in detail showing the cup raised and the plunger forcing the paste through the perforations of the cap. Fig. 5 is a detailed cross-section, the same as Fig. 4: except that the cup is lowered, as shown in Fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the manufacture of collars the blanks are pasted together by the paste being distributed in three places upon the blanks. This is usually done by hand. One of the purposes of my invention is to perform this work mechanically so that the paste will be distributed uniformly and with much rapidity and positiveness without the hands of the operator coming in cont-act with the paste.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the frame of the machine.

B is a platform located within the frame and is vertically movable. Upon this plat form are located a series of cups or reservoirs.

' C, C are cups adapted to contain the liquid paste. These cups C, C are provided with tubes D, D extending through the bottom of the platform and for some distance below it. Upon the bottom of the tubes D,

D are caps E, E which are detachably connected to the ends of the tubes D, D preferably by screw-threads so as to be adjustable and also detachable and easily removed for cleaning or otherwise. The lower end of the caps E, E are perforated with holes of suitable number and size to allow a proper quantity of the liquid paste to be forced through them. The platform B is slidably mounted in the frame A.

F, F are plungers adapted to pass through the cups C, C and into the tubes D, D. The plungers F, F are adjustably attached to the shelf Gr.

G is a shelf fixedly attached to the frame A above the platform B and so constructed and arranged that the plungers F may be adjustably attached thereto by their upper ends, leaving the lower ends extending through the cups C, C so that when the platformB carrying the cups 0, G is raised the plungers F, F will pass into the tubes D, D and the lower ends of the plungers 11;, 5) come close to the bottom of the caps H, H are sleeves mounted adjustably upon the plungers F, F. Mounted upon the lower ends of the sleeves H, H aresmall valves or circular plates I, I. The sleeves H, H are so adjusted upon the plungers F, F that when the cups C, O containing the paste are raised the valves I, I will reach the top of the tubes D, D, forcing the paste into the tubes and as the platform carrying the cups raises and descends the Valves I, I keep the paste stirred and properly mixed and at the same time the plungers F, F reaching the bottoms of the tubes force the paste through the perforations in the caps E, E. The amount of paste to be forced through the perforations of the caps E, E is readily determined by the adjustments of the plungers F, F and the sleeves H, H.

The platform carrying the paste cups is slidably mounted in the sides of the frame A and raised by the foot pedal attached to N is a table located under the tubes D, D and slidably mounted in the frame A so as to be adjusted by the thumb-screws O, O at any proper height.

T represents a pile or stack of collar blanks or other material desired to be pasted which are deposited upon the table N under the tubes D, D.

The operation of my pasting machine is evident from the foregoing description.

The cups 0, C are filled with paste of the desired consistency. The articles desired to be pasted are located on the table N. The table N is adjusted to such a height that the perforated caps E, E will rest upon the top of the collars or other articles desired to be pasted when the plat-form is at rest and in normal position. The plungers F F are so adjusted that the lower ends of the plungers will come near the perforated ends of the capswhen the platform B is raised by the power applied to the foot pedal J and the sleeves H, H are at the same time so adjusted that the valvesor circular plates I, I will reach the bottom of the cups C, C over the ends of the tubes D, D when the platform is raised. When the parts are so adjusted and the goods to be pasted are deposited upon the table N, as described, the operator raises the platform B by the foot pedal J. As the platform ascends the plungers F, F andthe valves I, I mix the paste and force it into the tubes D, D and through the perforations at the bottoms of the caps so that the paste will stand in small drops on the bottom of the caps E, E as shown in Fig. 4. The power is then removed from the foot pedal and the platform descends its own weight carrying the caps E, E down in contact with the first layer ofthe goods. on the table 'N and de positingthe predetermined-amount of paste caps come in contact with the same.

on the top layer of the goods where the On again operating'the pedal theftop layer of the goods, if'light as is usual in collar factories,"will stick to the ends of the caps and a be carried upward-from the pile. The operator working the foot pedal with his feet has his hands free to take the piece already pasted and deposit itas in the drawer P in front of themachine or upon the table, as desired. i

Of course, it is evidentthat the cups and plungers located upon the platform B may be in a straight line or maybe arranged in any varied positions, as may be desired, or there may be one or any number which the machine will hold, so as to deposit the paste in straight lines or in irregular positions, as may be determined" and as "maybe desired by the style or shape of the" goods to be pasted. The distance to which'the platform may be raised may also be regulated by the block Q, Q and the'thumb-screws R, B so as to have the valves I, I as near the top end of the tubes D, D as may be desired. Constructed in this way my pasting machine may be used for pasting any kind of goods and the amount of paste to be used may be predetermined and regulated and the work done better and much more rapidly and economically than can possibly be done by hand. 7 I
